Ragdoll Fighter is a free online fighting game you can play right here in your browser, with no download and no sign-up. Fighting games are conversations made of attacks, and Ragdoll Fighter gives you a vocabulary: light hits, heavy hits, blocks and the punish that follows a mistake. From the tags you can already tell that fast reactions and constant movement are the point; other players are involved, either online or on the same device; the characters are stickmen, which usually means fast, exaggerated animation and slapstick.

Tips and tricks
- Spacing is a weapon. Stand just outside the opponent's reach and inside your own, and let them come to you.
- Rematch after a loss immediately. Fighting game skill is muscle memory, and it builds fastest while the previous round is still fresh.
- Punish, don't predict. Wait for a missed attack and hit the recovery — it is the safest damage in any fighting game.
- Watch the opponent's health bar. Players change behaviour when they are low, and the change is exploitable.
- Because this is a Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.
